Supermarket Take-Away Counters

Major supermarkets like Pingo Doce and Continente have excellent "Take-Away" sections serving hot meals. A whole grilled chicken (Frango Assado) costs around €5-€7, and sides like rice or fries are sold by weight.

It is a staple for Portuguese families on busy weeknights. The food is fresh, cheap, and often healthier than fast food. You take a ticket, order at the counter, and pay at the main checkout.
